Why Make Coupon or Discount Offers to Seniors?

This question sometimes comes up when discussing the rationale for senior marketing. Why should a merchant, shop owner or service provider give a special deal to 55+ or seniors? The answer is simple – it is good business, that’s why!

We have often made the point that senior patrons are brand loyal, repeat customers. The problem is that if a senior is accustomed to using the services of your competitors or shopping in another store, that quality of loyalty works against you. How can you break this established habit? One dependable way is by using senior discounts or special coupon offers. The potential customer is incentivized to at least try your product or service.

As a typical internet marketing agency, Axiom does a lot of branding strategies for all types of organizations. We know that branding your business as “senior-friendly’” or “senior-oriented,” is one of the most effective ways to get and keep repeat customers. These patrons can form the base of successful marketing campaigns.

It is easy to prove this to yourself. Go to Google, Bing or a search engine of your choice and enter a search term like “Senior discounts” or “senior coupons. The results pages will be full of offers from national companies offering seniors some incentive to buy from them. These are names you know, like Hertz Car Rental, Kohls Stores and other nationwide outlets. These people have professional marketing departments and outside agencies that tell them exactly what we at Axiom are saying: senior customers are golden.

For some time now, Axiom has been associated with a Central Florida organization that can help you to crack the senior market.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video must be worth many times a thousand. YouTube has become an indispensable tool for any internet marketing agency, and Axiom is certainly no exception. Since its start in 2005, the video sharing/social media site has grown to become the second most used search engine on the internet. Only Google itself, which owns YouTube, does more search queries. Billions of YouTube videos are watched each day, and as we have pointed out, 55+ adults and seniors are now among the most loyal YouTube watchers.

At Axiom, we still do a lot of general internet work like SEO link building and branding strategy development, but we have gravitated more and more to the specialty of influencing those critical “Silver Consumers,” the 55+ and senior market. You might say that ‘Seniors R Us’ is a big part of Axiom’s own branding strategy.

One reason for this is our role as the technical arm of the OurSeniors.net family. We are involved in the OurSeniors.net print media, direct mail advertising, social media and traditional web productions. YouTube productions are a key part of our online efforts. At Axiom, we know seniors, and we know that YouTube videos are an effective way to reach that key market.

If a video is worth several thousand words, then we should just point you to the YouTube channel that we maintain for OurSeniors.net. Click on The OurSeniors.net Channel to see! After you watch, contact us at 800-888-6348 for a free consultation. Our business marketing team can combine traditional marketing tools like direct mail advertising with local SEO services to build your branding strategy.

OurSeniors.net Magazine and OurSeniorsDiscounts.net was just upgraded from “A” to “A+” by the Better Business Bureau. So, what’s the difference between “A” and “A+”?

The OurSeniors.net organization has always been ranked as an “A” business, but you cannot get to “A+” status until you have maintained that standing for two years and scored 97 or more out of a possible 100 points. Now you know, the OurSeniors Family is here for the long haul, and we will maintain that high standard. Stay tuned for more great news from OurSeniors.net and its entire family!

Many lay people believe that Facebook is still the exclusive domain of teenagers and young adults. However, media professionals know that the fastest growing Facebook user demographic is 55+ adults and seniors. Recent trends indicate that we will soon see a completely different Facebook, with younger users leaving the platform for apps like Snapchat and Instagram while more and more seniors take it up.

This is a happy coincidence for experienced senior marketing organizations like Axiom. As a traditional internet marketing agency, Axiom does every day functions like developing branding strategies and SEO techniques and even direct mail marketing. However, we have gradually become more and more of a niche internet marketing agency. We concentrate on senior consumers, the Silver Dollars or Boomer Consumers who can make a business a success. In Florida, that is especially true!

Facebook works for seniors, and if your service or product appeals to 55+ adults, particularly retirees, then Facebook is your new sweet spot. At Axiom, we have long experience in building Facebook pages and in maintaining them. Take a look at two of our Facebook pages that are aimed especially at the senior market. They are OurSeniors.net on Facebook and OurSeniorsDiscounts.net on Facebook.

At the same time, we produce an outstanding magazine format publication (OurSeniors.net Magazine) that is distributed free of charge to thousands of seniors each quarter. At Axiom, we know that seniors continue to read and retain printed material more than other age groups. This high-quality magazine is available in senior-friendly locations like Denny’s Restaurants, CVS and Walgreens Pharmacies, and Walmart.

Let us show you how to leverage your advertising dollars into print, traditional web pages and social media like Facebook.

There is some debate about the relative merits of Facebook Business Pages verses traditional web pages. If you are not a web design professional, an expert in SEO techniques or an accomplished Facebook user, you may not even understand the difference. Both these common digital marketing solutions have pros and cons. Here are a few examples:

Ownership and Control. In your traditional website, you have complete control over all content, branding strategy, SEO techniques and other aspects. You own your website. With Facebook, you’re dealing with a third-party site. You follow the company’s terms of service, which are frequently revised. In effect, Facebook, not you, owns the site.

Site Design. With a website, you design your webpages to match your own branding strategy and goals. You are free to make changes anytime at your discretion. On a Facebook page, you can add your own logo design and make minor changes in appearance, but you will still have Facebook’s look. On the other hand, you (or your internet marketing agency) must do the design and the maintenance work yourself for traditional websites.

Interaction. On a traditional website you have limited opportunities to interact with your audience, especially if it is a “template” or amateur site design. Facebook is a place where you often find participants and “friends” using social media to interact with others. The typical Facebook user is more likely to be engaged in a conversation or leave comments.

Timeline. Facebook’s Timeline is a way to easily send your contents to thousands of people spending time on Facebook. With one easy click, users can get all your updates, comment on your Facebook posts and share your information with their own network of friends and family. This feature is not available with a traditional website, unless your audience can subscribe to your RSS feed. The drawback is that your users always must be using an RSS reader to keep information streaming to them. Most people will not do this.

The bottom line is that both Facebook and traditional web pages are needed. There is no substitute for the way branding strategies can be accomplished via a business website. On the other hand, the convenience and efficiency of Facebook’s automatic update and delivery cannot be ignored.

That is why Axiom does both! We build and maintain traditional websites and Facebook pages for clients simultaneously. Take a look at these examples from a medical practice we serve:

Axiom professionals have been providing traditional internet marketing agency services such as SEO techniques for many years. The pros at Axiom are accustomed to being referred to as an ”internet marketing agency.” At the same time, we have been involved in the older “technologies” used to construct branding strategies (print and direct mail advertising for example).

We have long believed that there is huge room for growth and development in the senior and 55+ digital marketing sector. Many professionals at other internet marketing agencies ignore this opportunity. A lot of them are “digital natives,” young people who have never known anything but a digital world. Often, these young people believe that seniors and 55+ boomers just do not “get it.” At Axiom, we know that is just not true. We understand that social media like YouTube have become pervasive platforms for sharing stories and spreading knowledge in senior networks.

YouTube allows viewers to watch and engage with stories on a personal, almost one to one level. It gives viewers the opportunity to share their own experiences with peers, family members and friends. It is surprising to us that some of our clients are still skeptical about the ability of media like YouTube to reach Baby Boomers and seniors. In fact, the 50+ age demographic is the fastest growing group of online users. Boomers and seniors spend an average of 19 hours per week, more time per week online than watching TV. If you want to make your business or service known to this huge market, you must understand the reality of boomer and senior internet activity.

At Axiom, we do understand it! In a big way, “Seniors R Our Business!” As part of the OurSeniors.net Family, we know that YouTube doesn’t just attract high volumes of boomer and senior web traffic. It is also an incredibly effective medium for encouraging engagement and action. This goes hand-in-glove with the OurSeniors.net Family’s policy of proactive networking. Axiom professionals do not sit around the computer and wait for seniors to drop by. We are actively engaged with the OurSeniors.net “Brunch and Learn” program, and Axiom is responsible for putting these events on YouTube.

You might think, that’s enough, but (as those TV guys say), “Wait, There’s more!” Yes, there is quite a bit more about Axiom. We still do a lot of general internet and web-type work, but we are also part of a larger group, the OurSeniors Family. Among our other activities, we are also the technical arm of the OurSeniors Family organization. This enables us to provide services aimed directly at a very important demographic: the 55+ and senior market.

This connection allows us to be a doorway to multiple media types, all aimed at the 55+ and senior market. Here are some examples:

net Magazine, the printed version of the OurSeniors Family’s flagship publication. This high-quality printed magazine is distributed free at over 240 pickup locations throughout a seven-county area, including major outlets like CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Denny’s Restaurants and numerous small business and office locations.

Today’s blog title may be a bit long, but the word LEVERAGE is the important part. In today’s business and professional world, the small business owner, the service provider or professional must leverage their time, talent and dollars. One of Axiom’s clients, the OurSeniors.net and OurSeniorsDiscounts.net group has a way to do just that.

This is a readymade web presence, social media platform, print distribution and a chance to break into an underappreciated networking group: senior networkers. Yes, seniors network too! In fact, they were doing it “over the back fence” long before smart phones were invented. Seniors tend to have tightly-knit circles of trusted friends, they may live in close proximity, they network and they tell each other about good deals. How can you get your business, professional practice, product or service in front of them?
